This is a story of boy meets girl, begins the wry, probing narrator of 500 DAYS OF SUMMER, and with that the film takes off at breakneck speed into a funny, true to life and unique dissection of the u...( read more

January 31, 2010A rom-com for people who don't like rom-coms. The leads attracted me to this and cope ably. Deschanel's character was really annoying me with her oh-so quirky behaviours emphasising her individuality (clearly dreamt up by a man) but snatches this from the jaws of defeat with a st...( read more)

January 23, 2010Did you ever just get out of a relationship and wonder what the hell went wrong? Everything seemed fine. 500 Days of Summer recounts the 500 days that Tom (Joespeh Gordon-Levitt) is obsessed with Summer (Zoey Deschanel). From the first meeting, through the good times of pretendin...( read more)

January 15, 2010(500) Days of Summer is very unconventional, but in this case, unconventional is a welcome change. The whole relationship genre seems to suffer from being too dour (Two Lovers), too formulaic (a bazillion movies starring Katherine Heigl and her kind), or simply too saccharine for...( read more)

January 14, 2010A realistic (funny, tragic, honest) look at relationships. It stars two of my favorite "indy" actors, Jospeh Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel who are always a delight to watch and deliver here performances that are quirky, charming and painfully believable.

February 8, 2010I was hoping this would be better after seeing the critical praise, maybe expectations were too high, I just didn't enjoy this a lot, it was ok and the two leads saved it from being a total disaster

Everything that's wrong, on the surface, with (500) Days of Summer pales in light of everything that's going on beneath its surface. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Much like Annie Hall did for a previous generation, (500) Days of Summer may be the movie that best captures a contemporary romantic sensibility. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
A fresh July breeze among recent (and mostly stale) romantic-comedy offerings. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The ending is tidy and way too cute, but (500) Days is otherwise a different kind of love story: an honest one that takes a piece out of you. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
In romance, we believe what we want to believe. That's the reason 500 Days of Summer is so appealing. full review

Armond White, The New York Press
It is so annoyingly cute about the smartness of middle-class young white people in love that one quickly realizes it is only about that -- not love nor passion as everyone experiences it. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
There's no real drama when the inner life of the female lead is so shrouded, even if that's the point. full review
